Hi All!
I had my WLE and SLNB in my left are 9 days ago and my skin is so sensitive.
I spoke to the SCN and told it’s normal, but does anyone have any recommendations to help?
Its driving me crazy so after any advice
Hope you’re all ok ish? Enjoy the bank holiday weekend.

Hi Kate/OneCatMe
I applied E45 to both wound sites and found that helped with the appearance of the scars and moisturised my skin.

Hi Kate
It's awful isn't it - like really bad sunburn but with no actual skin damage!
Good news it is totally normal as your SCN has said and just to echo the advice from latchbrook slap loads of moisturiser on there.
Hope it improves soon. x
